Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 59: Closing the Door and Beating the Dog

Chu Ming's face darkened. He hadn't even prepared to confront him yet, but he was already thinking about taking the initiative.

But it can also be understood. I heard that he has been living a miserable life recently.

The incident of his severed arm naturally couldn't be kept a secret, and it quickly spread among the sect and the market.

For a while, many people knew that he had fallen out of favor with Wu Changqing, and that Wu Changqing was no longer protecting him.

People who used to treat him as a brother gradually distanced themselves from him.

The conflicts at home were about to erupt.

It is said that on the night he returned home, his youngest son was accidentally killed by him in a fit of anger because he insisted on eating Spirit Rice.

His third wife fought back desperately and was beaten severely. The next day, she left with their youngest daughter to follow an old lover.

And since he returned the five thousand spirit stones, he suddenly emptied his family's savings.

They couldn't afford to live in the big house anymore, so the whole family moved to the slums in the market.

But that's not all. It is said that after he fell from power, many people who had grudges against him started seeking revenge.

A group of people in the market who he had borrowed money or items from and hadn't returned gathered together and asked the market master for help to pressure him to repay the debts.

Forced to do so, Ji Rong had to send his first wife, second wife, and several daughters to work in the brothels to earn extra money.

Since then, he has become a laughingstock known to everyone in the outer sect and the market.

Falling from the sky to the ground in an instant, Chu Ming naturally understood this feeling.

Ji Rong, who was filled with anger, naturally wanted to seek revenge when he had the chance.

And the person he hated the most was probably himself.

At this moment, Ji Rong and the Yin Spirit were getting closer to the perception plants over there. Chu Ming could see more clearly, and he noticed some details.

Both of them had hidden breath talismans on them.

And Ji Rong had been using the Snow Treading Steps all along, leaving no footprints.

He should be trying to silently lure the Yin Spirit over without attracting attention, and assassinate himself without anyone knowing.

In his eyes, the Yin Spirit was quite powerful, and if he was unprepared, it wouldn't take much effort to deal with him, a Qi Refining sixth layer cultivator.

And killing himself through the Yin Spirit wouldn't leave any evidence, at most it would be considered an accident.

Chu Ming, however, sneered. Why make it so convenient?

If he came here secretly, even if he killed him, no one would know.

Chu Ming then switched his perspective to the Stone Forest.

Although the perception plants there were a bit biased, he could still see from a distance that there was a significant battle going on, with spells booming and colorful lights.

After the incident last time, the inner sect martial hall also arranged some disciples to come and maintain the development of the Stone Forest.

With Foundation Building disciples present, Ji Rong became a helper, especially since he had lost an arm and his strength was compromised.

But it was probably because of this that he had the opportunity to lure the Yin Spirit away while chaos ensued, without being noticed.

Chu Ming switched his perspective again to observe the surroundings and some important locations, and no one noticed the movement on Ji Rong's side.

This old guy had been mixing in the outer sect for so many years, and his experience was quite sophisticated. It was not difficult for him to sneak over from there.

And this place was vast and sparsely populated, making it difficult to encounter people late at night.

But Ji Rong definitely wouldn't have expected that this convenient opportunity was not prepared for him, but for Chu Ming.

"Senior Brother, what's going on?" Xiao Yuying asked with some concern.

Chu Ming withdrew his perspective and whispered to her, "It's nothing, there's some commotion outside."

"You just stay inside, I'll be back soon."

Xiao Yuying knew that her senior brother was always steady, so there shouldn't be any problems.

But she still reminded him, "Senior Brother, be careful."

"By the way, take this jade pendant with you for now."

Chu Ming didn't say much either, he took the jade pendant from her hand and said, "Hmm, don't worry."

After saying that, he took out a concealment talisman and stuck it on himself, hiding his aura.

The effect of this concealment talisman can last for half an hour, which is enough.

He climbed out of the back window and performed the Swallow Flight Technique, stepping on the air and landing on a Swallow Step platform.

Switching perspectives, Ji Rong had already arrived at a small hill on the east side.

The Yin spirits behind him chased after him, but he quickly took out a talisman and stuck it on his forehead.

The Yin spirits instantly stopped moving, and then Ji Rong made hand gestures and chanted a spell, causing the Yin spirits to slowly move.

This seems to be an exorcism talisman, which, when combined with an exorcism spell, can control Yin spirits and make them serve one's own purposes.

As the Yin spirits moved slowly and passed by him, he also took off the concealment talisman that was stuck on them.

Then the Yin spirits floated down the hill and slowly approached the location of the thatched cottage, getting closer within four to five hundred steps.

Ji Rong squatted next to a bush, a wicked smile appearing on his face.

"Chu Ming, today I will kill you!" he said in a low and vicious voice.

However, coincidentally, the bush next to him was where Chu Ming had planted the perception plants.

Chu Ming shifted his visual and auditory senses to the bush, and Ji Rong seemed to be right beside him. He could even hear his heartbeat.

Seeing Ji Rong smiling beside him, Chu Ming also smiled.

He went around the courtyard, although he was walking on the ground, he stepped on platforms all the way and left no footprints.

He moved extremely fast and silently approached Ji Rong from behind.

At this point, Ji Rong had stopped chanting the exorcism spell, and the exorcism talisman on the Yin spirits fell off.

The Yin spirits immediately regained their consciousness and looked around, but couldn't find Ji Rong's figure.

Seeing the thatched cottage in the distance and smelling the human aura in the air, they floated towards that direction.

Ji Rong smirked, knowing that the Yin spirits could sense human aura, and the nearest house around was Chu Ming's. After losing their target, they would go there.

Now he just needed to wait for a moment, and he should be able to see the result.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong suppressing force controlling him. He instantly lost his ability to move and even his resistance disappeared.

Chu Ming had already crouched behind a giant stone several zhang away, using Object Manipulation to suppress him.

Then he instantly sucked him over, and when his hand touched Ji Rong's back, he sucked the completely defenseless opponent into the space of the Dragon Head Cane.

After thinking it through, it was better to deal with Ji Rong in the space of the Dragon Head Cane.

Cultivators with spiritual consciousness were more powerful, and even after death, their souls could linger in the world for a while.

He wasn't sure if Ji Rong had practiced any escape techniques for the soul. If his soul escaped, it would be somewhat troublesome.

So it was safer to close the door and catch the dog.

After quickly cleaning up the traces here, he immediately went to chase the Yin spirit that was floating towards his home, using the same method to suck the Yin spirit into the space.

He also picked up the exorcism talisman on the ground, carefully inspected the surroundings, and switched perspectives to observe the movements in various places.

After making sure everything was fine, he quickly returned to the small courtyard.

During this time, he also looked inwardly at the scene in the space of the Dragon Head Cane.

After Ji Rong entered the space, he was instantly confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.

However, he was even more startled when the Yin spirit that was teleported in came, and he didn't have time to think as he fought against the oncoming Yin spirit.

Chu Ming chuckled, feeling like he was watching a fight between crickets.

He walked to the back window and said softly, "Junior Sister, I'll go to the storeroom for a moment. Just stay quietly at home and I'll be back soon."

Xiao Yuying heard her senior brother's voice and immediately felt relieved, letting go of the tension in her heart.

"Okay, I understand, senior brother."

Chu Ming then walked into the storeroom, took out the Dragon Head Cane and placed it in the corner, and then entered the space.
